Walkthrough:
DM text upon entering- The Tomb of the Unhallowed is a junction point
between Necropolis and Dolurrh, the plane of the dead.
The layout of this tomb is a large diamond, with an altar set at the end
of each point. The doors of each hall only open when you kill everything
in the hallway, so no running to the ends. You can only travel in one
direction, and follow the doors as they open. Watch out for blade and
spike traps while you are on the move.
As you enter, most of the fighting is against cultists and other living
enemies. When you reach the end of the first hall, you must activate the
altar. Activating this altar begins the process of bringing the temple
into coterminous existance with the plane of Dolurrh. Layman's
translation: you are making it into a place the undead like to hang out.
As you might expect, the halls are suddenly flooded with undead.
Continue on, fighting your way back down the hall.
Clearing out hallways will continue to open up doors. This will
effectively shuttle you in the correct direction. About halfway through
will see you to a shrine. One early secret passage will lead to a
bedchamber with a locked tablestand syle chest. It is not trapped.
As you finally clear all four halls and activate the four shrines, it is
time to head in to the center of the tomb. The doors slam shut behind
you, and you are trapped in the room with the mummy and several of his
undead, skeletal guards. There are many archers up above which will
snipe you from a high position.
